Stevia's great!

[CarolinTexas]

I bought a small bottle of liquid stevia at Central Market (Texas) a few days ago. It cost less than $3 and is delicious! The stevia packets at Walmart (sweetnlow size) are super expensive.

I'm trying some yeast treatment and cutting down on sugar and carbs.

It's really tasty and has 0 calories or chemicals! I just shook 4 or 5 drops into my coffee (this am) and tea (this afternoon) and love it!

It tastes a little bit like honey. Just thought I'd let people know in case they were cutting down on sugar, or can't use artificial sweeteners (like me)!

Thanks, I might have to go pick some up in the next day or so, I have a doctors appt. close by where there's a Central market is at, so I think I will try it - will let you know.

I use stevia everyday in my buckwheat cereal. It's goood and doesn't make me flare

I used it in my iced tea tonight. It still tasted great!

What does buckwheat cereal taste like? Where do you get it? Do you use stevia in powdered or liquid form?

It's supposed to be 300 times stronger than sugar but with no chemicals or calories. It almost seems too good to be true, but I've researched it's safety and there are no risks.

I use liquid drops. buckwheat is a hot cereal like cream of wheat very simular but it's not a wheat at all it's a fruit. I eat it everymorning. It is a cereal grain like oatmeal. people who have ibs like me or celiac wheat intolerance can eat buckwheat. It's good in the cold mornings with raw milk stevia cinnamon and butter and almond. mmmm
I noticed you have some pain issue I take spirulina for energy and cod liver oil pills form for pain. You should put these supplements in your diet as well.

Wow Tabasco32! I've never seen anyone take the combination of supplements you listed. They all seem to be related to the ocean and it's natural products. I researched and the spirulina in particular seems amazing. I don't understand the research for seacure.

You are correct, I have serious pain issues. They get better when I do my whole exercise, massage and tp program, but I've been lazy about sticking with it lately because of fatigue. My whole program takes at least an hour and a half.

I notice you have a lot of thyroid symptoms. Did you have thyroid testing? Mary Shomon's website is great. Doctors can tell you that you are normal but those ranges are so far apart, 'within normal range' doesn't mean much.

Are you also treating for possible systemic yeast? I notice you take probiotics. I'm trying natural yeast treatments out now - after reading some books about how it mimics cystitis. When I finish those up, I may try spirulina.

Thanks for the information and I hope you get some results soon.

Yes I have yeast and I can't even smell sweet I get a sweet taste in my mouth and vaginal discharge. Seacure helps with leaky gut or candida as well. I don't know for the life of me what else is going on in my body though. I can only take care of myself the best I can. Chicken soup is all I eat everyday. I make it homemade with butternutsquash, yellow and green zucchini and some broccoli. It is so good. I have had my thyroid checked by a endocrinologist and everything is fine. I take floramore by renewlife. 12 billion colonies of good bacteria. Don't know if it help though. Oh and meditation and prayer. Apples and pears don't bother my yeast butter most other fruits like blueberries and dates and such do. I can tell within seconds by vaginal discharge.
